Lets see, after several frogs of the sock in my daughters chosen stitch pattern. I finely worked out the number of repeats needed to have the sock fit just right. It involved doing some fudging on the back, by introducing a seam. But it worked and it fit. So Sat. I asked her to try it on and see how it looked. Because not all patterns look good in the round or on such a small area as a sock. She slips it on, perfecto fit. Looks at it in the mirror and announces "You know, Mom it looks like amoeba are swimming up my leg." She is looking at it like mice were crawling up her trousers. "So, does that mean you don't like it?" "Oh, no, it is ok" Ok OK OK awwwwwwwwwwh I know what "Ok" means, it means it will sit in her sock drawer until hell freezes over. Friends we are talking about 72 rows of lace and cabling on 2.00 needles. Not counting the previous incarnations of this sock. I put it aside and she picked out a different pattern, and I am half way up the foot. I am doing this one toe up for a change. She has tried it on and likes the pattern, all is good in sock land
keep repeating, i love my daughter, i love my daughter, i love my daughter :-)
I will frog the amoeba sock, as it is too big for me. I might make a version for me someday. But not anytime soon.
